    I thought I'd start my year using my favourite razor in my possession.
    I'd planned on using the Blackland Sabre handle, but it didn't feel right.
    Several handles later I felt Ever-Ready had it right all along but curiosity got the better of me and I went back to the Sabre handle and it worked surprisingly well.
    All the other ingredients contributed to a close, clean, one and a half pass shave.
    Good luck for the new year!

    So I gave in and had my first try of a straight on New Years Eve. Wasn't going out so didn't matter if it went badly...

    Only did both cheeks and straight down the centre of my neck with the GOTTA, then another 2 passes with my Slim set on 5. I did think pass 2 felt very smooth after the first with the straight.

    Soho Joe Original Face Wash
    JR 168
    D R Harris Arlington soap
    Grah and Plumacher "The GOTTA"
    Gillette Slim Adjustable
    Gillette 7 O'Clock Green
    A little alum and
    Proraso After shave balm

    Unconditional Surrender was my favorite scent find for me 2017. A very generous friend helped my acquire the excellent soap as well. I've never been disappointed with this combination. Tabac holds a special place in my heart, but US is certainly the best scent I came across last year. There were many great ones, but this one just captured my imagination. The Rockwell 6s was a razor revelation for me, eclipsing the Merkur Futur in every way.
    Prep: Chatillon Lux Unconditional Surrender Salve
    Soap: L&L (Declaration) Unconditional Surrender
    Brush: Brothers Bristles Silver Surfer
    Razor: Rockwell 6sR6
    Blade: voskhod
    AS: Chatillon Lux Unconditional Surrender Toner
